Missing teeth? Your medical insurance may help pay for implants.

Most people only check their dental plan — and stop when it says no. When tooth loss is connected to an injury or a medical condition, some medical insurance plans may cover part of implant treatment. We'll check your plan for free.

Who may qualify

When implants can be a medical matter

Medical plans look for one thing: medical necessity. These are the situations where coverage is most often considered.

⚡

Accident or injury

Teeth lost from a fall, sports injury, car accident or other trauma to the face or jaw.

🦴

Jaw fracture or bone loss

Fractures of the jaw or tooth-bearing bone that need surgical repair and reconstruction.

🎗

Tumor or cancer treatment

Tooth or jaw loss after removal of a tumor, or after head-and-neck cancer care.

🩺

Serious infection

Infection of the jaw or a failed implant that threatens your overall health.

🧬

Conditions present from birth

Congenitally missing teeth or developmental conditions affecting the jaw.

❤️

Medical conditions

When your oral health is tied to managing another medical condition, with documentation from your care team.

Every plan is different. Some commercial insurance plans consider these cases; others don't. That's exactly what our free insurance check is for.

Questions

Patients often ask

Will my medical insurance definitely pay for my implants?

No one can promise that before your plan reviews your case. Coverage depends on your specific plan, the reason you lost your teeth, and the medical documentation. What we can promise is an honest review of your benefits and a clear answer before treatment starts.

Which insurance companies may cover implants?

Some commercial and employer medical plans consider implant-related surgery when it's medically necessary — for example, after an injury. Because benefits vary even within the same company, we check your individual plan rather than relying on a list.

What does the free insurance check involve?

You share your contact details and insurance type. Our team calls you, collects your plan information, and reviews your benefits. There's no cost and no obligation.

What if insurance doesn't cover it?

We'll walk you through your options, including your dental benefits, phased treatment plans and payment options, so you can make the decision that's right for you.

I have diabetes or take several medications. Can I still get implants?

Often, yes. That's exactly why we review your health first. With the right preparation and monitoring, many patients with medical conditions can be treated safely.

Important: Medicare & Medicaid

Please read before you book. We want you to have accurate expectations.

Medicare

By law, Original Medicare (Parts A and B) does not cover most dental care, including routine dental implants.

  • Medicare may pay for certain dental services only when they are directly tied to the success of another covered medical treatment (for example, before an organ transplant, heart valve surgery, cancer treatment or dialysis), and only through Medicare-enrolled providers.
  • Medicare Advantage plans may offer extra dental benefits; these vary by plan and often have annual limits.
  • Ask us whether CitiBrites Surgical can accept your specific Medicare or Medicare Advantage plan.

Medicaid

New York Medicaid may cover dental implants only when they are medically necessary and approved in advance.

  • Prior approval is required, with supporting documentation from your physician and dentist.
  • Approval decisions are made by Medicaid or your Medicaid managed-care plan — not by CitiBrites Surgical.
  • Ask us whether we participate with your Medicaid plan before scheduling treatment.

General disclaimer: Insurance coverage is not guaranteed. Eligibility and payment are determined solely by your insurance plan based on your benefits, medical necessity and documentation. A free insurance check is an informational review, not a promise of coverage. Individual results vary; this page is not medical advice and does not create a doctor-patient relationship.
